1 INDOOR AIR QUALITY ON CONSTRUCTION SITES- 1 ST RUN Synopsis: Although construction is commonly considered an outdoor activity, workers typically spend a significant amount of time at work in indoor environments, under roof, carrying out works such as screeding and plastering. This is especially so for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional projects, which was estimated to take up 70% of construction demand in Within a confined indoor work environment, potential hazards to the workers health may arise. We should expect, and take the necessary precautions to ensure, that indoor construction environments are safe workplaces. Indoor air pollutants are typically complex mixtures of low level contaminants, and can comprise physical, chemical and microbiological agents. Being cognizant of the sources of these indoor air quality hazards, the health risks they can pose and ways to safeguard our health is crucial to ensure that our well-being is not compromised in the course of performing our jobs. Course Objective The objective of this course is to present an overview of the indoor air quality health hazards that may be encountered by personnel on a construction site environment, addressing questions such as: What are some indoor air contaminants and where do they come from? How do these contaminants get into the body, and what are the health effects they can cause? Finally, what are some measures and good work practices that can be taken to address these indoor air quality concerns? Target Audience This course is suitable for site supervisors, engineers and technical officers. Participants will acquire the necessary knowledge on indoor-air related health risks on construction sites as well as relevant control strategies targeting these risks. This greater awareness will help us to adopt good work practices in order to mitigate the risks to our health arising from these indoor air quality issues.

2 Course Outline 1 Introduction Indoor air quality guidelines in Singapore Indoor air contaminants on construction sites Exposure to indoor air contaminants Physical agents concerning indoor air quality on construction sites Good work practices and control strategies General principles of indoor air quality Construction sites and the indoor work environment Including combustion by-products, volatile organic compounds, particulates, microbial contaminants Health effects associated with the exposure to indoor air contaminants Including radiation, temperature extremes, ergonomics Including source substitution, ventilation, exposure control Trainer s CV Dr Edmund Low received his PhD in Environmental Engineering from Yale University. He currently lectures at the National University of Singapore, on topics ranging from quantitative methods to environmental pollution. He has more than 10 years of research and professional experience spanning the application of computational modelling and engineering principles to address issues in public health, air and water quality. Prior to his current appointment, he was senior engineer at the National Environment Agency, where he was involved in environmental monitoring and assessment programmes in Singapore, including the setting up of the country s first islandwide continuous coastal water quality monitoring system. He has provided advice for formulating control strategies against pollution sources, and has also carried out impact assessment studies of climate and urban land use changes on Singapore catchments..
